Welcome to The Amalgamation!

As an Amalgamate, here’s what you have access to:

Member Dashboard

You’ve already found your first resource! This Member Dashboard houses all of the procurement and proposal resources available to members of The Amalgamation. Here’s an overview of our resources:

Amalgamation Slack Workspace

Slack is a collaboration platform that allows members of The Amalgamation community to communicate and collaborate in real-time. It provides various features such as channels, direct messaging, file sharing, and integrations with other tools. Members can join different channels based on their interests, projects, or teams to discuss and share information. It's a great way to connect with other community members and stay updated on the latest discussions and announcements. You can see our expected etiquette in The Amalgamation’s Slack Guidelines.

General Business Resources

There are a lot of small business resources out there. We went digging for the most useful so you didn’t have to. We’ve put together some of our favorites.

Contracting Opportunities

Looking for ways to grow your business with government contracts? We’ve got you covered. From our discounted access to an industry-leading state and local bid database to being featured in our professional training course catalog, we help members connect with the right opportunities. Request more information here and start leveling up today!

Proposal Support

Designing and formatting proposals can be a pain, so we have created a myriad of customizable templates through Canva, an affordable graphic design platform that does not require fancy equipment or advanced design skills. With these templates, you can create professional and ‘pretty’ proposals that save you both time and money while making your bid more competitive.

If you’re looking for more hands-on support, we got that covered too! We offer affordable consultant services from 21RW and ProposalAlliance to provide expert guidance and support in various areas, including proposal writing, business development, project management, and more. As a member of The Amalgamation, you’ll receive special hourly rates and access to tailored trainings.

The Amalgamation Academy

We're on a mission to demystify the procurement process, so we are creating a repository of trainings tailored to meet the specific needs of small businesses and underutilized enterprises in public procurement. Check out what we have, let us know what else you would like to see, and join us in building content!
